Summer is here, and many TV series have wound down or have just started back up. This means there are now plenty of opportunities to sit down and binge watch as many shows as you possibly can before the fall semester starts back up again. Here is a list of a few shows that you should binge watch during your summer break.
1. Supernatural
Supernatural is one of my favorite television shows of all time, and quite often the first I recommend to others who are looking for something new to watch. This television series has just completed their eleventh season, and are supposed to return for a 12th season in September. The series is about two brothers who take on the supernatural while traveling across the country, saving the world, and usually stopping the apocalypse. It’s spooky, hilarious, and downright heartwarming, and definitely something you should check out.
2. Sherlock
Sherlock from the BBC has just three seasons and a Christmas special to their name right now, but the show is definitely one that can never get old. Each episode deserves multiple viewings, and with each different viewing brings new observations for the audience. With the series set to come back this winter, I recommend watching and rewatching every episode over and over.
3. Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars is a show that ran from 2004 to 2007, and while it only has three brief seasons, they are a rollercoaster ride to watch. The series follows a teenage girl attempting to uncover the murder of her best friend in the first season, the death of many classmates in the second season, and her sleuthing experiences in college for the final season. There are many twists and turns, and you will be glued to the TV truly binge-watching this series.
4. Outlander
Outlander is a show from Starz network based on a novel of the same name. It follows a nurse from World War II as she is sent back in time to the 1740s, and attempts to return to her normal era while facing many challenges of not changing the future along the way, as well as surviving in a time that she is not familiar with. The show, as well as the novel it is adapted from, are both gems in their respective categories, and I thoroughly enjoyed both versions. Both are filled with adventure, fantasy, and romance galore. You will be swept back in time quickly while binge watching this, so beware!
5. Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender is a throwback to my childhood, and is a show that stills holds up even today. It follows a brother and sister of the water tribe as they help the avatar, the master of all four elements of earth, water, air, and fire, and save the world from the evil fire lord. This animated show is worth a good binge watching whether you watched the show before or if it is your first viewing. It is often light and playful, but when the adult themes come in, the show balance it almost flawlessly.
Whether these shows are something you are into or not, they are definitely binge worthy. I hope that you can pick at least one of these recommended shows and enjoy them throughout your summer.
